[QUOTE="bosun1, post: 292069, member: 2766"] I've been trying to lay off on this topic. We are dealing with statistics. You can take a given statistic, ignore what you don't want to find as a 'statistical anomaly', another 'statistical anomaly" that you do want you can amplify the importance of. Then yell loudly enough and people will believe you. Publish the findings that support your bias and surpress the findings that don't support you. Givens: 1. Smoking is probably not good for you. 2. Use of tobacco in any form is probably not good for you. 3. Intake of alcohol is not good for you. 4. Intake of red meat as an adult is not good for you. 5. Excess calories are not good for you. 6. Loud noise is not good for you. 7. Repetitive work is not good for you. 8. Burning of fossil fuels is not good for you. 9. Etcetera. If you are anti-tobacco and you are not winning the fight against the evil weed, get an ad campaign going to get the people who are "live and let live" onto your side. Second hand smoke. "If you see someone smoking they are killing you". Great ad campaign. Better than WW2 propaganda! We are losing. The only thing on our side is the greediness of the taxing authorities if you think about it. When one of these anti-cancer/tobacco orgs spends more than half of its contributions on raising more contributions, a majority of the remaining funds on salaries, and a small amount on anti-cancer research then you can see their business model!
